Cheap but a great buy.
They are the same beads you will find at any party store but much cheaper in price.

Silver beads are a good deal but not consistent in quality
I purchase the silver bead necklaces regularly for the nightclub I work at. We give them to VIP customers celebrating bachelorette parties. While the price is really good, the quality of the beads has been getting worse. I frequently have broken necklaces and multiple strands that were clearly not painted correctly as they are more black than silver in color. They'll do for what I'm using them for, but if you're looking for something nicer, I'd go with a different product.

Cheaply made and severly discolored! Supposed to be silver metalic, but had aqua blue and ugly black beads.

horrible quality
I ordered these for my sister's baby shower (with 24 people). I originally only wanted to order 24 but the bulk cheaper. But it's a good thing I did because the bead were horrible quality. 75% of them had black stuff all over the beads, and like dirty grey stuff. It look like they had been sprayed in bulk and not thorough. Or quality checked at all. I was so embarrassed. I hope Oriental Trading company reads this review. I have never had such bad stuff ordered before. Cheap, yes, but never this bad. Spend a little more money and buy at a real store near you, where you can see the quality.

Nearly 20% unusable
Of the 96 necklaces, 19 were defective. Two were broken and 17 others were not completed covered with silver. Some were brassy looking while others were almost black. I can understand 1 or 2, but 19.7% defective is way too many.

My grandson's new favorite color is SILVER so these were a must!
I love that you can get such a large quantity for such a low price. These are very shiny and will be a hit with the birthday boy since they are his favorite color. I also ordered more necklaces in a variety if colors! Thanks Oriental Traders.

Good quality
I bought dozens of these at a local chain party store for a previous party for double the price, and they were breaking all over the place. I was reluctant to purchase this type of necklace again, but it really enhances the parties, to hand out to each guest. I tried the set from here--half the price, and they only broke if somebody purposely twisted them.

Fun beads
These are just regular silver bead necklaces. They worked fine for the purpose we needed them for. They are not super durable, as some teenage boys seemed to be able to break them easily with their craziness. But otherwise they are a good buy.
